Diamond Poker Series' first-ever PLO Grand Slam is well on its way to reaching its first of two €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pools. After Day 1a of the €5,200 Opener attracted 95 entries to Arena Casino in Tirana, Albania, slightly less than half of what is needed to reach the guarantee.
Today, at 3 p.m. local time, those who were not part of the crew of 19 survivors get to take another shot to build a stack as Day 1b kicks off. Day 1b is the second and final starting flight of the tournament, but even if the guarantee will not be met today, late registration remains open until the start of Day 2 for those wanting to take a last shot.
Yesterday, Norway's high roller regular Tom-Aksel Bedell expanded his starting stack of 200,000 tenfold, securing the chip lead with a stack of 2,165,000. Sergio Martinez Gonzalez was the only other player to do so and came in second with 2,010,000. Bracelet winner Max Kruse, meanwhile, also secured a top ten spot with 1,170,000.

A 15-minute break is scheduled after every three of the 45-minute levels, with a 45-minute dinner break after Level 6, around 7:45 p.m. local time. For the unlucky ones who bow out early, unlimited reentry options are available throughout the entire day.

Denis Rubba raised his button to 2,500. Jake Parsons defended in the big blind, after which both players checked the 10♠A♦9♥ flop.
Parsons then check-called Rubba's bet of 5,000 on the J♦ turn and did so too when Rubba bet 10,000 on the 7♦ river.
Rubba showed 9♦5♥4♥3♦ for a flush and was awarded the pot as Parsons mucked his cards.

Jake Parsons and Denis Rubba were heads up again, this time on a turn of 10♠J♦8♦7♦. Rubba then bet 10,000 from the hijack, which Parsons raised to 36,000 on the button.
Rubba called to the 5♥ river, where Parsons sized down to 32,000. Rubba spent a time bank but ultimately decided he was getting to good of a price and called.
Parsons showed A♥K♥10♦9♦ for a straight flush and won the sizable pot.

Roman Verenko raised to 3,500 in early position. "Megas" called in the cutoff before Daniel Zaremba came along on the button. The trio saw a flop of Q♣J♣6♥, where Verenko continued for 8,000.
"Megas" then raised to 25,000, forcing out Zaremba. Verenko decided to three-bet to 88,000, after which "Megas" shoved all in for a starting stack. Verenko snap-called and the cards went face-up.
"Megas": J♠J♥10♠9♥
Roman Verenko: A♥A♣Q♥Q♦
Verenko had flopped top set against the middle set of "Megas". "Megas" made a straight on the K♠ turn to take a big lead, but the 6♦ river paired the board to give Verenko the best full house.
He doubled up and left "Megas" with no chips remaining.
